People Love Us

The knowledge, professionalism, and love I have received from MCAA will remain with me as I begin college and I know that I am always welcomed back with open arms. Thanks for making MCAA a safe place where I could just be myself and sing!

— Jewelein Stevenson, MCCA Student

MCAA is not a performing arts center, it is a home. The experiences my daughter has received as a student at MCAA is exceptional. Coty reaches the “whole” child by building talents in the arts, along with developing a strong, confident foundation that will continue to make my daughter successful into college and her future career.

— Lisa Stevenson, MCCA Parent

The MCCA family, including its staff and students, has truly become an extended family for all of us. Our daughters have received much more than technical lessons in voice, dance, piano and acting. They have developed poise and self-confidence and grown in relationships with others in a safe and supportive environment.
